THE STATES by Craig Foltz

In this collectable edition of six accordion-fold postcard-style books, Craig Foltz's poems traverse the cultural landscape of the United States. The poems are accompanied by a photograph of each state's sky—as diverse as the states which make up this giant country.

The pages are perforated so that the poems can be sent, like balloons, through the mail.

The photographs were contributed by 51 amateur and professional photographers from around the country.

Contributing photographers: Alice Arnold, Meredyth Sparks, Jade Deskow, Ariana Smart Truman, Marie Kazalia, Florence Neal, Sabra Cox, Chris Hampton, David Gatten & Jen Hofer, Simona Schneider, Tina Burton, Shelton Walsmith, Christa Holka, Mike Mahaffie, Tod Seelie, Jon Ciliberto, Lyn Lifshin, Willie Baronet, Rabekah Travis, Courtney Fischer, Martin Bland, Justin Simonsen, Lara Khalil, Karen Lillis, Thomas Ciufo, Katherine McDowell, Elizabeth Willis, Barbara Henning, Paul Yoo, Kristina Del Pino, Jim Sima
